Yep, now I can see what you are saying. Looks like a bug to me. Regards,

This is the first time I have tried using password expiration so it is very possible I am doing something wrong. I am using PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT. Step 1 shows me my registry password. In step 3, I typed the "LEQ-22VF" password in at the password prompt and it says "invalid password". I tried both typing it in and cut and pasting it in but it still doesn't work. Oh by the way, "passwordaccess generate" works fine. 1. Connecting to TSM Server via client options file 'C:\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt ' ... Registry password for node RESOURC-3 = 'LEQ-22VF' . Authenticating password with TSM for node RESOURC-3 .... Connecting to TSM Server via client options file 'C:\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt ' ... The password for the specified ADSM node has expired . Password Authentication failed. 2. tsm: 2ND_DALLAS_TSM>upd node resourc-3 forcep=yes ANR2063I Node RESOURC-3 updated. 3.

If so, why do you think the password is not being reset? You can test this with a Windows client: 1) From the client machine, open an OS prompt and change into the directory where the TSM client executables reside, i.e. C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient. 2) Issue this command: dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename (where 'yournodename' is the client node name). Make a note of the password. 3) From an Admin command, update the client node with the FORCEPWRESET=YES option. 4) From the client OS prompt, issue these commands: dsmc q se dsmcutil showpw /node:yournodename Is the password different from that shown in step 2 above?

I can't seem to force the client to change its password. I issue the command "upd node client forcepwreset=yes" expecting it to force the client to change its password the next time it logs into TSM. It doesn't seem to force me to do anything. When I log in, I get no prompts to change my password. What am I doing wrong? I am feeling sort of stupid right now :) The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
